Fantastic meal as usual, nothing is too much trouble. Staff very attentive and friendly. They cater for coeliacs which is a big bonus for me.
The staff were all really nice and friendly and the overall atmosphere was warm. We had 3 courses and the food was really great on all courses.
Nothing bad, food was exceptional, staff was very good and friendly. Price was expected. Only two points if i have to say and there were, was asked for drinks when seated at the table and they never came, had to ask again and was made to feel that valentines menu was all you could have even though nothing on in for out liking, may i add tho the staff did bring out a full menu for us after we asked and the food was spot on, will be returning soon.
Wonderful evening! This was our first visit and the food and drinks were both fantastic and the service topped it off. Will definitely return! Thank you
First time to restaurant all I can say is staff excellent and food out of this world made our anniversary!!! Will be going again 100%
Great surroundings, attentive service, excellent food and all done in an unhurried manner. Have visited before and definitely will be returning to this restaurant in the near future.
Absolutely beautiful no other words thanks guys me little ma felt like a film star on her 60th thanks again lovely food and service brilliant
Excellent food and service in smart surroundings, pre dinner drinks are served in the cocktail lounge where there is an extensive gin menu to choose from ! An extensive menu comprising good value classic Italian dishes and tasty meat and fish specials. We had a great evening !
The service was excellent, food delicious and the wine waiter was particularly attentive and polite. A great experience. I would recommend Al Porto to anyone.
it was my first visit to al Porto with my wife. The location is amazing on the marina. The bar and restaurant was lovely and the food was amazing. 5*
Food excellent we had a fabulous evening. The staff are attentive, professional and friendly. The menu is great, not too vast but plenty of choice.
Second time I’ve visited recently. Lovely experience both times. Tasty pasta. Regrettably no pizza or garlic bread though.
Since my last review the restaurant and been given more than a make over, the owners have created a larger dining area and an area to sit and have pre and post dinner drinks. The ambiance was perfect, the service excellent and the food could not have been better. Certainly an improvement had been made the cost can be seen in the changes and well worth a visit and not just for special occasions.
Really nice restaurant, friendly staff and a good selection on the menu. Very resonably priced as well, the Italian stew was excellent and the pannacota desert is amazing.
Fantastic staff and Wonderful food in a great venue. Shame we were the only customers on a Sunday evening and yes we would go back.
The best tornados Rossini in town. Fillet cooked to perfection as are accompaniments. Decent wine list with a very pleasing negroamaro. Lovely warm atmosphere and calm friendly staff. Perfect for a quiet evening with friends and loved ones.
We booked a table at Al Porto in November to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We arrived for our 8pm booking and waited 10 minutes or more before someone came to the desk, he asked if we had booked and went to find us a table. We were taken to our table and given a menu each. We weren’t too bothered about the lack of a wine list and ordered a bottle of house red, starters and mains. We waited about an hour before our starters arrived which we thought was excessive but then expected our mains would arrive soon after. No one had been to ask if we were ok or wanted any additional drinks. After we had been waiting for nearly another hour we contemplated if we should give up on the mains and leave but thought we would give them a chance. At around 10.00pm my husband went in search of someone to ask where our meals were. The waiter said he would find out. He came to our table saying he was sorry, they were very busy and the manager would bring the meals himself. This was a poor excuse, a table of four beside us had a drink and left and there were a few empty tables when we arrived. The manager arrived around 10:15, his only words were to ask who ordered the steak and planted the plates on the table! He returned a few minutes later with two small bowls containing the sides, my husband politely told him we were expecting vegetables with the main, he threw his arms in the air and told us he only had two hands and would bring them. He brought another two small bowls each containing two small carrots and a few green beans. My husband’s main was tasty but the medium steak I had ordered was well done and dry, it was late and I was hungry so ate it. As the manager seemed to have graduated from the Basil Fawlty school of management I didn’t believe I would get a replacement and it was too late in the evening to wait for one. We finished our meal and my husband left the table. A waitress came over straight away to take our plates and asked if I had enjoyed the meal. I told her I hadn’t and why. She apologised but looked embarrassed and didn’t know what else to say. She asked if I would like to order deserts, I told her no I would like the bill. The bill came straight away and was on the table when my husband returned from his short visit to the bathroom. We have had slow service and not so good meals but most restaurants are apologetic and try to put things right. Not this one. It spoilt our anniversary and we shall not be returning.
Fantastic food and wine, great service and excellent prices, what more could you want. This is one ofbthe best Italian restaurants that I have been to.
Very welcoming,lovely new decor. Me and the hubby love it here
As usual food was fantastic and wonderful staff. Just a lovely place to dine, lovely atmosphere in great surroundings. I would heartily recommend this restaurant for any occasion.
Lovely food and atmosphere only 2 small issues . Our table was near the door and hence we were a bit cold every time the door opened and they did not serve garlic bread
Nice atmos frendly staff food was veay nice off the xmas menu been before ti this place normalu have the steaks which are delish will be going again soon
Excellent food & service, we really enjoyed our evening. We had the fish last special and the steak. The quality of the food was excellent. We will definitely return.
Can’t believe we’ve only just found Al Porto! Great food, service and atmosphere - the steaks were the best we’ve had in a long time. Will definitely be returning!
We’ve visited the restaurant many times and have never been failed on an affordable, delicious, well presented meal. Excellent location on the Hull Marina. Xx
great place never disappoints. looking forward to my next visit.
It was an excellent meal enjoyed by all 4 of us, will be returning very soon. The service was first class and the ambience wonderful.
Very disappointed. I mentioned it was our daughter's 21st and they said they would do something nothing materialised. The service was awful really slow we were there over 3 hours. Received the bill and they advised they hadn't charged us for deserts as recognition of the poor service. Shows how bad it was when we don't even have to mention it. Bill contained an item we hadn't had but I couldn't be bothered to mention it because it would probably of taken an age to sort. Just didn't really meet our expectations and wasn't the celebration we expected
Brilliant meal ,good portions,hot ,tasty and good service.lovely place with good views,as a couple we enjoyed it very much.we have also been there in a group an had a brilliant time Well done Al Porto
Slow service. Portion sizes inconsistent. Would have liked Parmesan on my pasta dish, other tables were offered not ours! Staff didn’t recommend side orders with meals so had poor size order of veg. Disappointing food and service, good job the company was fantastic!
Beautiful meal preceded by delightful drinks. Attentive service completed the excellent food and wine. Highly recommended. And such an atmospheric ambience. A lot of attention to table settings too. Excellent.
This was our fifth or sixth time to Al Porto and we cannot fault the place. The atmosphere is great. The staff were friendly and helpful and most of all the food was fantastic. Perfectly cooked and tasty, all at very reasonable prices. Will definitely be booking again soon.
Lovely food as always - I had the lobster ravioli, which was delicious. The restaurant looks great after refurbishment and the service was fantastic. Although I would like it if next time there was a cocktails menu on the table. I know there are cocktails on offer now but I never know which ones.
Brilliant food, well priced with excellent service. I had the specials, scallops followed by venison really good. Wife went for mussels and seafood risotto which was packed with flavour.
Excellent surroundings along with a warm welcome and great food made for an excellent evening. As soon as they recognized we were celebrating my wife,s Birthday a free cocktail of her choice was promptly brought across for her....
I booked a romantic table for two this evening for my girlfriends birthday. I did not give much brief but they went above and beyond my expectations. The food was outstanding and excellent value for money. The birthday girl was very happy they even brought her a brownie cake out with a candle in and this was no normal brownie it was the most amazing brownie we ever tasted.The service was outstanding. Honestly THANKYOU guys . we will definitely be back for sure. Best fine dining in hull for sure we went home very happy.....AWESOME.......
The food and service were excellent as always but we were a little disappointed that the pre meal drinks area has now been replaced with extra tables
Love Al Porto - however the disappearance of the lovely leather settees to the left when you walk in was a disappointment - we were taken to a soul-less room with a few tables and a bar with no-one in attendance and left for a good few minutes before a drinks order was taken. At our table in the main restaurant we chose a starter of bruschetta to share which came on a slate, we waited for a few minutes for sharing plates to come and they didn't so we ate the bruschetta off the slate, then the plates came but we had finished. Just a small thing - but Al Porto the small things matter. Otherwise a lovely meal.
Been to this restaurant many times and the food and service is always fantastic. Would recommend to anyone!! Great location with plenty of parking and lovely atmosphere
Disappointed quality of food was a let down service wasnt great either! Ordered steak plate came swimming in meat juices and fat. Mushroom sauce was thin and no flavour. Vegetables over cooked and they forgot the potatoes and had to pay for them separately over priced for what we got!
